Stenhouse by a mile

After a short postponement, races 10,11 and 12 were sailed in 18 knots and brilliant sunshine at the Musto Skiff World Championship.

Dave Poston led at the first windward mark of race ten and was not headed. Roger Oswald was second and Bruce Keen third.

Race 11 was won by Richard Stenhouse, and with this result he secured the World Championship title. Jerry Wales was second in the race and Dan Vincent third.

Race 12 was almost an exact repeat of race 11, with Richard Stenhouse leading the fleet home followed closely by Bruce Keen and Roger Oswald.

The prize giving followed as soon as possible after racing, and the fleet all agreed that the venue was one of the best they had sailed at.

A big thank you to Segelclub St.Moritz for laying on an excellent regatta, and special thanks to PRO Stefan Zullig and Felix Hurter (event principal organiser and his team) and Urs Scherrer class regatta liaison.

The next World Championships is to be held at Black Rock Sailing Club, Melbourne Australia in early 2010.
